About Dance Kids
With over 24 years of production history, Dance Kids of Monterey County, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization founded by Carol Richmond, is proud of its wide range of theatrical experience that support the youth of the Monterey Peninsula. In the early days, productions at the Carmel Ballet Academy included Nutcracker and original spring musicals written by Walt de Faria and a full-length spring ballet, produced at Sunset Center.
Dance Kids was known for fun-loving nostalgia surrounding the musical and drew from the community a range of young people and their families committed to theater. As it grew, its little venue could not handle the Nutcracker any longer, but continued at the venue for the spring musicals, until those too, outgrew the dance studio. Nutcracker moved to Sunset Center in 1995 and has remained there as its home venue except for the years the center was being remodeled.
Dance Kids Nutcracker has grown into a premier production eagerly awaited by cast and community. The original vision of Dance Kids of Monterey County has been honored as well as surpassed in the ensuing years.

About The Mystery Players
As they are informally known, were formed eight years ago with a handful of actors gathered around a table acting out clues for the audience to solve. This humble beginning has evolved into the format of a full-blown play with singing and dancing. The actors are given an original script, and with the input of the author, director, choreographer, musical director, and the actors themselves, the process becomes a work in progress until a production is ready for presentation. To date, the plays have always been mysteries where the audience has been asked to guess who dun-it. Some of the actors have had professional careers in theatre, film, and television, and some still do. The production staff and actors have always given freely of their time and talent to support non-profits. They may be best known by those who, for years, attended the Mystery Plays and Dinners for the Monterey Symphony. This year they are pleased to offer their play for the Wharf Theatre and Dance Kids of Monterey.
